Moon Baltimore: THE INFAMOUS "THE SIGNAL" INTERVIEW


Back by popular demand! Sort of.

Click player below (UPDATED: Now with 100% more working . . . in Firefox and Chrome. IE seems to be some sort of bigot.) to play the MP3 of Moon Baltimore's spot on WYPR 88.1 FM's The Signal from June 12, 2009. Remember where you were the first time you heard it? Me neither!

Moon Baltimore UNLEASHED IN THE MULTIMEDIAS


Moon Baltimore is ON THE STREETS and already people are talking about it (in my mind).

The initial promotional onslaught is detailed below:

WYPR 88.1 FM's The Signal's Lisa Morgan's interview with me about writing the book! (NOTE: Might Be Afflicted and Unworking for a little while)

Photos from the book premiere event at Atomic Books!

Tortillaz In The Mist


"Touch the Zesty Guacamole flavor to your tongue and you'll taste what Quaker Tortillaz are all about."


The kindly pacifist Quaker icon dude must be thrilled. "You can never be too thin – or too crunchy" reads the marketing copy. That's not very Quaker, is it?

How about:
"You can never be too thin or too crunchy -- or too pacifist!"

The Diver, or Scaphandrier


"Nantes, the home town of Jules Verne, is situated in western France. Here, near the river Loire a giant deep-sea diver sleeps gently, waiting for his task to begin."
